Promises.

images

My head cannot stoop any lower.

Her eyes…
I cannot face the tears rolling down all over..
How could I do this to her..
Breaking her heart.. over and over again..

The love of my life..
The one person I truly care,
more than anything in the world..

How could I be this unfaithful to her?
When did I become this ruthless hypocrite,
who made her believe that she can trust me?
Didn’t I see her pure devotion?

———–

My broken promises…
My broken words..
Her broken heart.

———-

And now I stand before her…
With nothing but shame and guilt;
Not even having the courage to look into her eyes…
And ask for forgiveness…

———–

For one last time, I wish I could fight for her..

———–

I do want to fight for her!
I want to have one more chance
to prove that I won’t let her down again.
How I wish she trusted me once more..
Once and for all…

There she is waiting for my glance…
Maybe its time to stop thinking
And do something about it..

———–

I picked up the weakest shame and the tiniest courage left
And looked at her straight into eyes..

My breaths had fogged her image..

I wiped her tears.
I wiped my reflection.

And there I see…
Me.

———–

I’m sorry.

Imagine.

Sad thing is, sometimes we only get reminded of our blessings, when we see the less fortunate people, or something unfortunate happen to us. What would happen if it was a world where everyone is happy…? Would we all be thankless if we have no sorrows…? Have you noticed, we have the most sincere prayers, when we need something from God to be done.? If life is good, prayers sometimes become mere rituals or maybe even nil. How material are we? How narrow are our minds? How selfish are our deeds? We are nothing but losers then… Pray and hope, that we all be better humans; That we can rediscover and nurture, the humanity, spirituality and capability for goodness within. Amen.

P. S :- This small prayer is inspired by an all time favorite song Imagine, written and performed by John Lennon in 1971. The song is about imagining a world without countries and religions, with ever happy people. I was just wondering what would happen next, if Lennon’s wish came true.
